Introduction
Survey preparations were done during the fall of 2006. They included consultations with UNRWA as well as the two Popular Committees of Ein El-Hilweh and the NGOs operat- ing there. The survey sample relied on a building and population census carried out by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the Damascus office, in 1998. A three-stage sampling approach was followed. In stage one, 640 building structures were chosen from among altogether 3,413 building structures in the frame, stratified according to size. In stage two, all households in the selected building structures were re-listed before making a random selection of one or more households from each building depending on its size. In total, 904 households were selected. The sampling also involved a third stage, whereby one person aged 15 and over was randomly selected from each household to answer questions tapping into the
person’s attitudes and opinions on certain issues.
The fieldwork team underwent a six-day interviewer training course just before the imple- mentation of the survey. The first four days were in-house training, while the last two days of training consisted of field practices and subsequent discussions of experiences with fellow team members and instructors. Supervisors received additional instruction as did coders, editors and data entry operators.
Fieldwork lasted about three weeks, from 12 February to 3 March 2007. Due to the re- listing of households in the selected housing structures preceding the fieldwork, the response rate was very high, at 98.3 percent. Data quality is good.
Reading the Tabulation Report
All tables provide results as percentages and most give the un-weighted number of observations
for all background variables. To fully understand the content of the tables, it might sometimes
be useful to consult their footnotes, which e.g. may contain supplementary information re-
garding the respondents and variable definitions. Likewise, the below list of key concepts and
acronyms may prove helpful.
Key Concepts and Acronyms
Household
questionnaire
The household questionnaire contains questions about housing condi- tions and the environment surrounding the dwelling. Further, it con- tains a so-called “roster” where core information about each household member is filled, such as gender and age, health status, current school enrolment and educational achievements, and employment status.
Finally it collects data about the household as an economic unit, prin- cipally income and durable goods.
RSI questionnaire
This questionnaire poses questions where the respondent is not pro- viding ‘objective’ information about the household and its members, but reveals his or her personal opinions and attitudes with regard to a variety of issues. Examples are ‘women and employment’, and satisfac- tion with education and health services.
Respondents
The main respondent of the household questionnaire is the household head, or other knowledgeable adult who is home at the time of visit. If the head is employed and working outside the home but in the vicinity of the home, he or she is usually fetched at his or her working place.
Else, the housewife is often the main respondent. More often than not, however, more than one respondent is present during the interview thus ensuring that correct information is provided.
The respondent to the RSI questionnaire was selected randomly among all household members aged 15 and above, using a so-called Kish table.
Household
A household is an individual or a group of individuals, who are usually related (but need not be so), and who reside in the same dwelling unit, or in more than one dwelling unit located close together, and pool their resources together. Usually this entails having a common food arrangement. If a son has married and occupy a room in the same house as his parents but contribute to the overall economy of the parents and his siblings and eat with them, they would all be members of one household (an extended family). However, if the newly-weds were to have a separate entrance to their room and had established a separate economy, including eating most meals alone, they would have formed a new household.
Household head
The household head is the person who manages or is considered respon-
sible for the household. This person may be appointed on the basis of
age, sex, economic status (main provider), or some other reason. It is
up to the respondents to define who the head is, but it must be one of
Household income
The survey asked the household to list 35 different (grouped) income sources and for each source the household reported incomes for the past 12 months and for certain income types for the past month. We constructed a ‘household income’ variable and assigned the households to five values (lowest, low, middle, high, and highest) according to their total annual incomes so that the five groups contained approximately the same number of households.
Asset index
The asset index variable is based on an extensive list of 25 durable goods that the household might possess, as well as certain aspects of the dwelling imply-ing a decent housing standard. The durable goods are: refrigerator, gas or electric stove (cooking), gas or electric oven (heating), kerosene or diesel oven (heating), electric fan, washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, sewing machine, mix-master/electric blender, radio, TV set, cable TV, satellite dish, video player, DVD player, photo camera, video cam- era, ordinary telephone, mobile telephone, personal computer, internet connection, air conditioner, car/ truck, and motorbike. Aspects of the housing that were considered when constructing the index are: space (room) per person; extra space such as garden, compound, balcony, roof, shop, and workshop; toilet; garbage being collected; relative stability in water delivery; and ownership status. The various durables and positive housing features were counted, and all households sorted into five groups of almost identical size according to their score, ranging from ‘lowest’ to
‘highest’.
Labour force
participation
The survey applied the framework of the International Labour Organi- zation (ILO) and a one-week reference period.
All persons aged 15 and above are considered to be in working age.
If a person had carried out any activity for at least one hour during the seven days preceding the day of the interview and that activity was done for a wage or salary, for profit (if self-employed), or as unpaid family labour in any enterprise that produces goods and services for the market, the person is considered economically active, or a member of the labour force. (People can be paid in money or in kind.)
Labour force members are either employed (working at least one hour
the past week) or unemployed (not working – according to the above
definition – and actively seeking work).
Literacy
In this survey we defined literacy based on two questions about people’s actual reading and writing skills, not assuming, for example, which is frequently the case in surveys in Arab countries, that once a person has completed elementary schooling (or a certain grade), he or she is, by definition, literate. Our approach, we believe, provides more realistic estimates.

( ) empty cell
If a cell of a table does not contain any value (is left blank), it implies that no respondent – in a particular group of respondents (e.g. women in a certain age group) gave that particular answer, or has been allocated that value on the variable.
( - ) a dash
A dash ( - ) in a table cell indicates a value of less that 0.5 percent, i.e.
that less than 0.5 percent of the respondents (but at least one) gave
that answer, or were assigned that value.
